As I age, like most people, I am saddened not only by physical weaknesses but also by the loss of mental acuity. My mind has begun to play mental tricks on me. For instance, I will enter a room and instantly forget why I came into the room. Or worse yet, get to the doorway and forget whether I was going in or coming out. Fortunately, my God suffers no such loss of mental power.
Psalm 139:2-5 says, “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.” Whether we are doing the same old things or something new, God will lead your steps and hold you close to Him if only you will ask Him. He knows you better than you know yourself and will lead you in the best way. He knows all the possible paths that we can take and will lead us by His goodness and power.
